Determination of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves of Unsaturated Sandy Soils Using Membrane Filter with Stainless Wire Mesh [PDF]
, 2009 Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an important soil function in an unsaturated soil mechanics field for design and analyses of any unsaturated earth structures. Determination of SWCC is not easy and more so time consuming. Generally, ceramic disc

Modeling of transpiration reduction in van Genuchten-Mualem type soils [PDF]
, 2009 We derive an analytic expression for the matric flux potential (M) for van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) type soils which can also be written in terms of a converging infinite series.

An easily implemented agro-hydrological procedure with dynamic root simulation for water transfer in the crop–soil system: validation and application [PDF]
, 2009 Models for water transfer in the crop–soil system are key components of agro-hydrological models for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide practices. Many of the hydrological models for water transfer in the crop–soil system are either too approximate due

Modelling Soil Water Retention for Weed Seed Germination Sensitivity to Water Potential
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2012 Soil water retention is important for the study of water availability to germinating weed seeds. Six soil water retention models (Campbell, Brooks-Corey, four- and five-parameter van Genuchten, Tani, and Russo) with residual soil water parameter ...

Evaluation of compost influence on soil water retention
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2011 The experiment was focused on evaluation of influence of compost application on soil water retention. Soil retention is a major soil water property that governs soil functioning as a ecosystem.

A Family of Soil Water Retention Models Based on Sigmoid Functions
Water Resources Research, 2023 The soil water retention curve is the fundamental soil hydraulic property to characterize soil water movement and solute transport. Many efforts have been devoted in the past decades to developing models to describe soil water retention curves.
